A real estate guy contacted me today about a job I did back in the
He sent me this link to the for-sale website:
Built some columns on the interior, too.
I sure did like doing that sort of work.

I suppose you want a compliment just because it is beautiful work. :-)
OKOKOK It's actually fabulous work though!
My compliments. Hope you have photos in your portfolio. If not -- then=20 get some.

Beautiful place Tom. It must make you proud to have had a major role in it

I especially like that 6-car garage!
Let's see, one for my '97 and one for the '01.
THEN:
One for wood storage.
One for the main shop area.
One for a finish room.
The last for the lawnmower.
Yeah..I'd be like a duck out of water!
Besides, the pool room is kind of narrow.

Looks like a beautiful place, ... except for (IMO) that black marble bathroom. To each their own, but for my tastes that was oppresive! :-)
Der be sum purty stuff der, sir.
WOW!!! I live in Chester County PA and I can tell you with absolute certainly that not all the houses there look like that. My entire house and garage would fit into the entry foyer with room to spare.
BTW: Beautiful work Tom.
Absolutely, way too much chance of somebody putting a pool cue through one of my Van Gogh's.
Damn! Yer a homeboy.
Where do you live?

yeah. It's narrow because it's one of those pools that pushes water at you while you're swimming - and "endless - something or other".
I was gone before they got that online.
Sounded like a giant hot tub with the jets all pointed one way.

Very nice! Get a pro in there with his Hasselblad and make a calender for your customers.
Very nice work and pictures. I'd guess 10 million for PA.
I thought it was your house.

How many clamps does it take to clamp up a curved handrail? Too damn many! :-)

Booful work. Oogly barn^H^H^H^Hhotel^H^H^H^Home.
I can imagine. Doing nice work for people who can actually pay for it and not give you grief about a measly fiver or ten grand difference? Yeah, nice.
But it's a BFU house, isn't it? The pink and black checkerboarding gag me, and the size alone is enough to give anyone an inferiority complex just walking through it. Not homey or comfy at ALL! ('Course, I'm solidly the "Not So Big House" camp.)
The two areas I liked (but the first'd be too cold) was the whirlpool bath area and the lovely + interesting Kohler Environmental Chamber.

That works out to $473,000 per month of incarceration. Not too shabby at all. Free room and board too.
